The presidential race is in full swing, and two former college friends are running against each other. Ben Stone is a political star - he has risen through the ranks through hard work, guided by his visionary ideals. But he is plagued by guilt and regret after a failed marriage, his son’s suicide, and his own perceived failures while serving in the Vietnam War - a war he protested in college but then enlisted in, believing it would serve his political ambitions. Ben’s opponent, Tory Blaine, has skated through life on his family’s wealth and prestige. He is tapped to run by Conrad Lynch, director of the CIA, who is determined to win the election by joining the extreme elements of the religious right with the wealthy elite. Tory is ashamed of the moralistic rhetoric his handlers force him to run on. He is also trying hard to forget a long-held secret, one that Ben knows about but promised never to reveal. Lynch and his comrades will go to shocking lengths to ensure a victory. Will they succeed? Stone’s Throw is a powerful story of political intrigue, friendship, guilt, and finally, redemption.
